Following columnist Charles Krauthammers observation that the first person to shoot down a surveillance drone on U.S. soil will be a folk hero, gun enthusiasts in Texas have done precisely that as a protest against the use of spy drones on the American people.

Using consumer drones as target practice, Alex Jones and the Steiner brothers tested out the best way to bring down the drones on the 10,000 acre Steiner ranch as part of filming for Brothers in Arms, a new show which focuses on firearms and the second amendment.

With spy drones now commercially available for less than $1,000 dollars that are barely any different from the ones being used by police departments to spy on the public, Jones and the Steiners made short work of the devices during filming.

This was an exercise in pushing the message that the use of surveillance drones in U.S. skies must be politically shot down because it represents a complete violation of the 4th amendment right to privacy.

Incidents involving the drones in recent months have hardly provided positive spin for the industry, which is why Americans are set to witness a massive PR campaign that will bombard the American public with positive images and messages about drones in an effort to reverse the growing perception of the aircraft as a threat to privacy and safety.

Earlier this month, a mystery object, thought to be a military or law enforcement drone, flying in controlled airspace over Denver almost caused a catastrophic mid air crash with a commercial jet.

With spy drones now commercially available for less than $1,000 dollars that are barely any different from the ones being used by police departments to spy on the public, Jones and the Steiners made short work of the devices during filming.

From Cabela's, a 3" 12-guage shotgun shell of #6 birdshot runs ~$1.40 a round, and would probably work quite nicely against that $1000+ machine...

'It's now very common to hear people say, "I'm rather offended by that", as if that gives them certain rights. It's no more than a whine. It has no meaning, it has no purpose, it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. "I'm offended by that." Well, so fucking what?' Stephen Fry

Thanks to the ACLU the Obama administration has issued many new rules for accomodations for goat herders to include separate quarters with a/c.

As previously stated, we don't have goat herders. Our goats let us know when they want to move somewhere by waking up the donkeys with them and they in turn tell the dog to come get someone with a truck to pick them all up.

We are very green and experimenting with electric golf carts so the goats can drive themselves around. I suspect the donkeys will want similar accomodations and we're willing to accept any suggestions.
